Allentown Proclaims 'Citizenship Day'

Mayor Joseph S. Daddona has designated "A Celebration of Citizenship Day" in Allentown on Wednesday, the eve of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.

In a proclamation, he noted that on Wednesday, millions of students across the nation will learn about the blessings of liberty bestowed by the Constitution.

A television and radio program will be broadcast nationally at 1 p.m. from the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Daddona said it will enable all Americans to join in the Pledge of Allegiance and to hear the words of the Preamble to the Constitution.
